Don't rent from an A&E managed building
Pros
Within 1st 6 months, apartment looks great. No cockroaches, no blood gang affiliated member tenants living next door fighting all day and selling drugs in front of building. The cleaners and building managers are polite though.
Cons
After 6 months, you realize how loud the neighborhood is, cockroaches creep in from below the floor into your apartment since there's holes all around the edges, the heater is covered with a cheap piece of metal to cover years of dust and carcasses of pest. High price for little space, unresponsive management, they'll do anything to keep you locked in. Hoodrats (I'm black, I can use that word without getting accused of racism, I think) all over the neighborhood since A&E is trying to fill those apartments now that people are leaving nyc.
Advice to the owners
Change your management. A&E is not good for business.
